Two days later the inquest upon Miles Hellingsby was held in the Southborough Parish Hall, and although Inspector Stone had been half expecting it, he was not altogether too pleased to see that Larose was already occupying a seat there when he arrived.
The previous day the inspector had had a long conversation over the phone with the superintendent of the Tunbridge Wells police, and from certain statements the latter had made to him, he had thought it advisable to attend the inquest in the interests of Scotland Yard. He was wondering now if Larose were also in possession of the same information the superintendent had passed on and was rather hoping he was not.
